Re: [mythtv-users] VGA problem

Hi David, in order to answer 1 and 2 I have to do some tweaking here, but meanwhile I would like to answer 3. I am quoting my reply to "Dave Fallon": the TV has a sign that changes through time - as follows: When I switch to the TV mode and the PC is down or not connected it says "PC" (probably equivalent to "No Input" in regular PC monitors. when I reboot, and before the OS is taking over it says "VGA", when the OS is taking over it says "XGA" and the X takes over it returns to "PC". Does this help? Can you elaborate on your suggestion "try removing..."? Thanks David Ellis wrote: A few quickie questions:   1)       You mention that it works in Windows. What resolutions does windows run at when it runs? 2)       Have you tried powerstrip in Windows? Powerstrip will give you the modeline that your video card is running at – you can actually cut and paste in directly into an X.org conf file. 3)       Is your TV in “VGA” mode (sometimes called PC Mode), do you have any other inputs on the set (try removing all inputs but the vga one and play around with input selection).   David   From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Oren Gross Sent: Sunday, October 09, 2005 1:36 PM To: mythtv-users@mythtv.org Subject: [mythtv-users] VGA problem   I am turning to this mailing list since I have lost hope in any other (believe me, I tried them all...). I really need an X expert and I thought that since this group is dealing with display quite often I might find him/her here. My problem is that I have Toshiba 43JS9UE  TV (see http://www.toshiba.com.sg/__48256BAC0062814D.nsf/webDocuments/TSPS-64M5JZ) and the following PC: VoxBox-B - Accent HT-400 HTPC (Home Theater PC) Case for Full size ATX board with front USB and fire wire ports. I tried installing Fedora,  booting Ubuntu Live CD (I also tried my Laptop with VGA=791 in the grub) no matter what I try, once the system start the X the screen goes black. This obviously stops me from installing ogro on my Home Theater PC... Seems to me this problem really requires an X expert... anyone?
